Sun rays filtered through a wintry forest

True Religon

There were days when I was fervent

worshipful

and threw myself into belief


And days where I doubted

questioned

furrowed my brow in consternation


Sometimes I glimpsed power

absolution

but grief was met with silence


One day I just stopped listening

actions

mean so much more than words


I don't care anymore what you say

you believe

live for compassion and justice


or get the fuck out
